An Official Information Request by the Auckland Ratepayers Alliance reveals that in the year ended June 2024, Auckland Transport spent just over $220,000 on ‘back to basics’ bicycle safety training.

Over the past two years, it has spent more than $450,000. A total of 2799 people attended the free courses last year, which AT said were designed to remove barriers for children and adults to use cycling as a mode of travel more reliably and safely.

Attendees learned safe bike handling, maintenance and road skills, and children were given lessons on how to ride.
